The by-election for member of Parlia-
ment for the vacant seat of the Norwich
Division of Cheshire, which occurred Satur-
day, was very important election. The
votes were not counted until yesterday,
which accounts for the delay in announcing
the result The contest was between the
Liberal-Unionists and the Gladstonians. In
the last general election the Liberal-U Union
lists carried it by five hundred majority. This
election they made extraordinary efforts to
hold their ground, putting up as a candidate
a son of the Duke of Westminster, who was
backed by all the tremendous prestige and
territorial power Of the wealthiest family,
not only in Cheshire, but in England They
fought the battle, fully realizing that, if he
should fail, no Unionist could hold seat
anywhere, and there would be stampede of
the secessionists back to Mr.. Gladstone.

The Fort or Rata Of Drung,

Dun-Druing, situated in the parish OF
Upper Neville, about five miles on the
main road leading from Moville 10
Derry, and locally pronounced Drung:
is the name and site Of an ancient tor
tress. 1t stands adjacent to the roac.
and is approached by steep lnc'lna-
tion. When tile old Dun was occupied
bv the Tuatha de Danans, 1t must have
been no mean forti. cation, and easily
defended. Overlooking the Foyle
at an elevation Of about l20 feet,
having a. plateau at summit diameter
Of above 200 feet, it commanded
one of the passes from the Foyle INTO
the interior of lnis-Owen. This place
would appear to have been taVorlre
retreat Of paganisn, as the remains OF
a Druidjcal altar stands at distance
OF I. 600 wards to the west Of the Dun,
at an elevation of 3sC feet on the slopes
of the hill called Copdum Beg. Another
Dun, but evidently only an outWork OF
the main fortress, stands about LOO
wards TO the Northeast, at about the
same elevation as that OF the altar.
This latter fort has been formerly used
as a burial place for children.

The Oak Statue in Whitefriar S5aeet.

OF all the statues carved III cak re-
manning from medieval days IN ireland
beyond all doubt that Of the Blessed
Virgin and Child preserved in the Car
melits Church, WhiJefrjar street: Dub
lin, is in every way the most remarka-
bic. AS work of art, it has been sup
posed, on the highest authority, to be
worthy Of Albert Durer, if not actually
from the chisel of that great designer.
ITS history, as related by DR.. Petrle, is
more curious. The statue is said to
have been considered one Of the great
est treasures Of St. Mary's Abbey,
Dublin. At the time of the suppress
sion of nonastries it was ordered to be
burnt, and one half the back-was ac-
Gually committed to the flames. The
other portion was saved from the same
fate as if by miracle, and, for conceal
ment, buried face downward in the
yard of an inn, where it was long used
:as hog trough! from the head OF
Shis statue, it has been stated, was
5aken silver crown to be used at the
coronation of Lambert Slmuel. This
crown, it would appear, Was IN exist
ence early in the present century. when
lit WAS melted down as old silver by q
Dublin jeweler, who could find no pur-
chaser for it!--Irish World.

NATURAL GAS FIRES.
Consumption of the New Fuel for House

Consumption of the New Fuel for House.
hold Uses in Stoves and Crates.
For mi]lpulposes, the gas is dis
tributed under the boilers, and wher.
ever needed, by q system of small
pipes, the blaze supplying the heat di-
rectly; but for household uses, in
stoves and fireplaces, the gas-pipe is
usually placed at the bottom of the
CRATES, which are filled above with
something to receive and hold the heat.
In rooms where the open CRATE, burn
ing the soft bituminous coal, has al
ways been used, a pleasing variety in
the arrangement of gas-fres is found.
Some people do away with the CRATE
altogether, and supp}ant it with a
clever imitation in cast-iron OF
the old-tine backlog. But
the commonly accepted plan is to
retain the CRATE, filing it generally
with coarsely broken friedrich, which,
when heated, looks much like anthra-
cite coal. Foundry-s]ag, properly ar
ranged, presents a perfect representa-
ton of soft-coal fire, and is, therefore,
more beautiful and desirable. Others
resort to the novel plan of filling their
CRATES with porcelain door-knobs, for
which purpose they are bought by the
peck or bushel! The quantity of gas
burned is regulated by valve at each
fireplace; and the ease with which a
gas-fire is made, regulated and put out,
coupled with it's freedom from smoke,
dust and ashes, has warmed the heart
Of womankind toward it with very
